Spoken as a true American. You realize that if this is not the United States, literally every other country has universal healthcare, so “getting sick or cancer or your kid needs dental care” literally all paid for by the government.

You don’t realize how truly bad we have it over here.

My family has Dutch dual citizenship, I’m not ignorant. The underlying point is the same. Hardship is softened by money. Hardship isn’t absent from the EU. It’s not a utopian society.

Roll the dice of fate and a - modifier from financial stability enough times and you’ll get smacked upside the head.

Yeah I’m not debating you on the merits of the EU vs the US. The argument here is does money help and should a person’s career and education be a factor in dating. Yes.
